FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IDC
Government Insights revealed the winners of the 2017 IDC Government
Insights Federal IT Rankings today. In its second year, the industry
award program categorizes and evaluates the revenues of leading global
technology and service providers based on calendar year revenues from
government institutions for hardware, software, and/or services. To
download the list in its entirety, please visit the Federal
IT Rankings website.

Two categories of companies are ranked:

1. Federal IT Rankings: Top 50: This list includes vendors that
derive more than one third of their revenue from government
institutions. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman Systems, and Leidos top
the 2017 list.

2. Federal IT Rankings: Enterprise 25: This list is comprised of
enterprise companies serving multiple industries that derive less than
one third of their revenues from government institutions. IBM, Dell, and
Intel rank high on the 2017 list.

These lists, the first of their kind, rank the leading IT providers to
the federal government based on revenues from the sale of information
technology hardware, software, and services rather than on potential
business traditionally reflected in multiyear contract awards. While
other industry lists include non-IT spending that may end up in IT
contracts such as management, consulting, and energy costs, they don't
necessarily represent pure information technology products and services.
The IDC Government Insights Federal IT Rankings eliminate this
information and only present revenue numbers based on the federal
government's IT spending for Fiscal Year 2016. In addition, the IDC
Government Insights' industry expertise sets the Federal IT Top 50
Rankings apart from traditional industry lists to offer government IT
vendors keen insight into the government IT ecosystem, including who
controls the market and how much money is being spent.

"What's interesting is that some companies, especially those near the
top of the two lists, have been leading government IT vendors for years.
Other companies may appear on the lower part of the list one year, but
not the next, because of significant contract wins or losses," said Shawn
P. McCarthy, Government Insights Research Director.

For more than 50 years, IDC has collected and analyzed IT industry data
to provide insight and guidance. Beginning this year, IDC Government
Insights is systematically collecting global government IT revenue
information and tracking the growth of the largest industry IT vendors

trends and industry activities to create meaningful rankings. IDC
analysts also put the information in the context of industry trends for
the benefit of both the institutions that buy technology, as well as the
companies that provide IT solutions to the industry.
